Beverly Benedict

If you knew Beverly Benedict, you knew her to be a beautiful person. The most beautiful people have known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way through. These people have an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep concern for others. Beautiful people, like Beverly don't just happen. Beverly Benedict was the most beautiful kind of person.

Befitting her beauty, Beverly worked in the the cosmetics and luxury fashion industry for Neiman Marcus and Estée Lauder for over 25 years. She often joked that "the best things in life are free but the second best are very very expensive."

Beverly loved her dog, her friends, her family, her coworkers and her many loyal clients, and they loved her back. Through Beverly's enlightened nature and compassion she helped to enlighten and awaken the compassion in others. She made the world a better place and set a fine example for which to aspire.
